Page 79

Sunday April 5th 1903
I took my time to the work in the forenoon. I read
some. Will & Mary Woolf were here in the afternoon.
Walter was gone all day. Mollie has vacation
next week so will not be back tonight.
Monday April 6th 1903
It was a warm day though a strong wind blew in
afternoon. I was busy about the house all morning and
in the afternoon got Bob Fachler to help me a little
in the garden. Will began to sow oats.
Tuesday April 7th 1903
I did a little sewing in the forenoon and in the
afternoon went as far as Woolfs with Will when
he went to town for grass seed. Mary gave me
some pie plant roots. Did evening work.
Wednesday April 8th 1903
I took Fannie some things this morning. Mother
came home with me. I was sewing when not busy
with the work. It was warm today. They sent for
Mother at five oclock. Will busy sewing oats.
